Man en vrouw in futuristische mode 1831 - 1844

"Mode de l'Année Prochaine" (Fashion of the Coming Year) is a satirical lithograph by Charles Philipon, created between 1831 and 1844. It depicts a man and a woman in exaggerated, outlandish clothing, highlighting the absurdity of fashion trends. The woman's wide, voluminous skirt and the man's oversized hat are comically large, perhaps poking fun at the excesses of 19th-century fashion. The piece is a humorous commentary on society's preoccupation with appearance and the ever-changing nature of trends, providing a glimpse into the humor and social critique prevalent in French art of the time.
